Ta'awwudh & Tasmiyahالاِسْتِعَاذَة والتَّسْمِيَة

Both phrases are recited silently in the first rak'ah only, immediately before Al-Fatiha. In Hanafi madhab, the Tasmiyah (Bismillah) is not a verse of Al-Fatiha — it is recited separately before it.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

A'udhu billahi min ash-shaytanir rajim. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim.

I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
